    A memorial
    to Bluelighters
    who have passed away

In Memoriam, cdin

Johnny's mother sent me the following message:

This is Jonny Martin's mother. We want to thank all the bluelight members who joined us on zoom for Jonathan's memorial last night. It was a fitting and beautiful tribute to our precious son, brother, nephew and grandson. I hope everyone is careful. You just never know and I would hate for any of your families to experience the devastation we are experiencing. 🕊️
 
Does anyone know why he named his band after Joan Vollmer? I didn't know anything about her but I do know just a little bit about William S. Burroughs, and now I'm reading about her. Seems like an interesting person and like Burroughs might have gotten away with murder killing her
Jonny and the other members of Vollmer were staunch feminists, and they believed that Joan Vollmer was a brilliant woman with a lot of great ideas who was intentionally murdered by Bill. I think they wanted to honour her memory and give her the recognition she deserved.
